“It’s just been a continuous journey, you know, I’ve been spiritually but also physically never been content with myself, you know, always wanted to grow,” preached Knight. “I always wanted to grow deeper spiritually so I can come out here and do what I want to do. So if I don’t have a good day. I don’t tell myself, ‘Oh, I had a bad day today. I had a day to get better from. I did things today that I can learn from.’ And then, you know, you get better days like today, we’re going to stack on that.
“We’re going to continue to stack this day, pro day, until we get drafted and then on this to the NFL.”
Taking things a step at a time, committed to forging a path even if it’s winding, has defined Knight’s career. He spent four years at Georgia Tech, redshirting his final year with the Yellowjackets so he could transfer. The next year was at UNC-Charlotte, where he earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors after leading the team with 96 tackles and three interceptions.
In his final year of eligibility at South Carolina, Knight posted 82 tackles, including eight for loss, 2.0 sacks and one interception in the SEC as the Gamecocks went 9-4.
